Quiet Electric Drive (QED) - sometimes called by the misnomer Quiet Electronic Drive - is an ONR-sponsored program to develop technologies for silent maritime propulsion for the United States Navy. According to the ONR, QED's role is to "address the Navy's operational gaps in surface ship and submarine maneuverability and acoustic signature. Quiet Electric Drives, or QEDs, are quiet, efficient and power dense. The primary objective of QED is demonstrating the utility of the motor as an actuator to obtain signature reduction performance while increasing tactical speed and maneuverability".
